Gains and Losses on Investments
During the three and six months ended April 26, 2026 and April 27, 2025, gross realized gains and losses on our fixed income portfolio were not material.
As of April 26, 2026 and October 26, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to our fixed income portfolio were not material. We regularly review our fixed income portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment from credit losses or other factors. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is considered to be a credit loss include: the significance of the decline in value compared to the cost basis; the financial condition, credit quality and near-term prospects of the investee; and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities are recorded as an allowance for credit losses through interest and other income (expense), net. Any additional changes in fair value that are not related to credit losses are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI). During the three and six months ended April 26, 2026 and April 27, 2025, we did not recognize material credit losses and the ending allowance for credit losses was not material to our fixed income portfolio.
The components of gain (loss) on equity investments recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended April 26, 2026 and April 27, 2025 were as follows:
